for us a bookwhichwe can read.'
Say: 'Glory tomy Lord!Am I anything but a human apostle?'
Nothing prevents men from having faith when guidance is revealed
to them but the excuse: 'Could Allah have sent a human being as an
apostle?'
Say: 'Had the earth been a safe place for angels to dwell in,We would
have sent forth to theman angel fromheaven as an apostle.'
Say: 'Sufficient isAllah as a witness between me and you. He knows
and observes His servants.'
Those whom Allah guides are rightly guided; but those whom He
leaves in error shall find no friend besides Him. We shall gather them
all on the Day of Resurrection, prostrate upon their faces, deaf, dumb,
and blind. Hell shall be their abode: whenever its flames die down, We
will rekindle them into a greater fire.
Thus shall they be rewarded: because they disbelieved Our
revelations and said: 'When we are turned to bones and dust, shall we
be raised up as a new creation?'
Do they not see thatAllah, who has created the heavens and the earth,
has power to create their like? Their fate is pre-ordained beyond all
doubt.Yet the wrongdoers respond onlywith ingratitude.
Say: 'Had you possessed the treasures of my Lord's mercy, you would
have withheld them for fear of spending. Howniggardly is man! '
To MusaWe gave nine clear signs. Ask the Children of Israel how he
first appeared amongst them.
Pharaoh said to him: 'Musa, I can see that you are bewitched.'
